THE presidents message has finally
been delivered. Mr.. Cleveland recog-
nized the truth Of the expression that
brevity is the soul of wit, and condensed
it to 1000 words. Why he should have
changed his original plan and cut it
down from $4,000 words is a mystery,
unless he really thinks some one will
read it. There are no flies on the
message. Incidentally it might be re-
marked that the winter season is now
upon us, and the flies have gone into

PUBLIC WORKS.
The Troublesome Question of Twen.
ticth Streets Width.

ttcth Streets Width.
NO bids were yesterday received by the
board of public works for the grading of
either Dodge between Twcnty-sccond and
Twenty-fourth streets or Twentieth street
between Davenport and Cass. This is all the
more surprising because it was thought the
Cable Tramway company would put in bid
as IL was anxious to have completed
the work which it started some
time ago, One of the reasons
which has doubtless operated against bidding
has been the fact that the work being mainly
of surface character, there was not enough
III view of approaching winter to attempt to
make money on. AS consequence of this
failure to secure bids, the board will ask no
more on this work, before next spring, when
the question of narrowing Twentieth
street will again be brought up
Notwithstanding the beauty of some Of the
residence property on that thoroughfare,
judging from those who have already been to
see the chairman Of the board of public works
upon the matter, there will be found many
who favor grading the street to width Of
100 feet, even if lawn and trees must be sacri-
feed. The majority of these live on the
northern part of the street and hold that
when the cable lines and street
car line run together they
will leave not even room enough for baby
cart between the outside track and the curb
To obviate this difficulty, they claim, the
street must be graded to the full width.
Yesterday afternoon the following bids were
opened for the grading of Farnam street from
Thirty sixth street to the city limits, there
being 62,O20 yards of filling and 26, 100 cutting

Prohibitionists at Denton.
Special to the Gazette.


DENTON, TEX, May 14.-The prohibi-
tionists of this precinct met in the court
house last night for the purpose of form
ing a prohibition club. Owing to their
being a musical concert in the city school
building and a church festival at the
Presbyterian church, the crowd was not
fatteringly large. The meeting was
called to order by II. G. Ferguson, Esq,
who entertained the crowd about
thirty minutes, advocating the amend
ment by answering objections raised by
it's opposers. A temporary organization
was thus effected by calling Mr.. W. J.
Wheeler to the chair, and electing W. H,
II. Owen secretary, with Rev. R. W.
Benge as assistant secretary. Eighty
seven names were reported as proposed
members, large majority Of whom were
voters.
IT. Bottorf, Esq, was then called
upon to address the audience. He re-
sponded in a talk of about forty minutes,
which consisted of detail of the reasons
why he is going to vote for the amend
ment.
Feeling the effects of conflicting gather
iDgs, the meeting adjourned to meet Mon
day night, the 23rd inst, to perfect per-
manent organization.

SITUATION OF FORT WORTH.

ACKNOWLEDGING AT LAST THE BETTER
SITUATION OF FORT WORTH.
Here is paragraph from the Dallas
News which means more than it says;
rs. D. Voak, formerly live stock
agent Of the Missouri Pacific system, but
latterly having charge of the lines north
of Denison, has been appointed agent
of the lines south of Denison, with
Office at Fort Worth. AS the Missouri
Pacific will now have competing lines IN
the Atchison and Frisco for the Texas
cattle trade, it bahooves it to locate its
live stock agent where he can see the
most cattlemen. Hence the removal OF
the Office from Dallas to Fort Worth"
The inference is very plain that Dallas
has been favored at the expense of Fort
Worth in other matters as well as this.
We have very frank confession from a
Dallas paper, that Dallas is not and was
not the best place for the live stock agent
of the Missouri Pacific; yet he was kept
there until the competition of the Atchf-
son road compelled him to come to Fort
Worth, "where he can see the most cattle
men. y Fort Worth Mail.

Of business men, professional men and

in business like style.
The meeting adjourned till next Satur-

The contest will certainly be very close
in this county, and warm enough to
bring out the strength of the vote as
closely as any presidential election eve-
did heretofore.

Armed with lot of prohibition blanks
and literature. Mcclure began crusade
in the lions den, where he shortly sue
